Starch Derivatives: Versatile Ingredients for Food and Non-Food Applications

- Dextrins: Produced by controlled hydrolysis of starch, dextrins are used as binders in tablets and adhesive coatings. Soluble dextrins act as bulking agents.

- Maltodextrins: These Starch Derivatives are low-molecular weight dextrose polymers prepared by hydrolyzing starch with acids or enzymes. Maltodextrins are easily digestible and commonly used as fillers and carriers in foods.
